Item #43 on the agenda this Thursday is to "Approve a resolution reflecting changes to the review process for adoption of a new Land Development Code, commonly referred to as CodeNext, to provide for additional drafts and commission review" - [http://austin.siretechnologies.com/sirepub/agdocs.aspx?doctype=agenda&itemid=72526].

I will be working with our legal department to amend the resolution to clarify that both of our Land Use Commissions will review the second and third drafts of CodeNext prior to the final draft coming to Council, and that both of our Land Use Commission's recommendations from those reviews will be incorporated into the draft code before it is presented to council.

It was always the intention for both of our Land Use Commissions to have that responsibility, however the resolution will be clarified to make that explicit. I anticipate that the amendment to the resolution will be to substitute "Land Use Commissions" for "Planning Commission" in the resolution.
